Hi there, I'm Lupe
I provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy for individuals and families, with a focus on addiction, anxiety, depression, and healing from trauma. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can feel understood, empowered, and supported.
Special focus on generational trauma and healing within families. I provide culturally responsive care for Latinx and Spanish-speaking clients, integrating each person's cultural and spiritual identity into the therapeutic process. My approach is holistic and compassionate—often blending evidence-based practices with mindfulness. I offer trauma-informed and culturally responsive care that meets clients where they are. I believe healing begins with trust, and I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and understood—whether we're working in English or Spanish.I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves without pressure or judgment. I believe in meeting clients where they're at using warmth, active listening, and a conversational tone to build trust and connection. While I bring clinical structure when needed, I also value humor, authenticity, and sensitivity.
I have almost 10 years of experience in this field of work. Most of it has been with the geriatric population within various settings, as well as with individuals challenged with a severe mental illness in forensic environments. I am very familiar with the impact of trauma on the life cycle. Additionally, I work with young adults navigating school-work-life-family balance, setting priorities, making challenging life decisions and developing self esteem and confidence while learning to maneuver life's ongoing challenges.
I am a wife of 4 decades, a mother of three adults, and a grandmother. Along with practicing psychotherapy, I have also spent numerous years as a client in psychotherapy.
Using a psychodynamic framework, I incorporate cognitive concepts within a framework of self-compassion to assist clients in telling their story, recognizing their strengths, and identifying what they need to heal.
I’m Tatiana Stewart, LCSW, a trauma‑informed clinician specializing in adolescents, transitional‑age young adults, and their families. I help youth and caregivers navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles through evidence‑based, family‑centered interventions so they regain safety, strengthen relationships, and build practical skills for lasting resilience and healthier futures.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of community‑based experience serving children, youth, and families across school‑based settings, foster care programs, and private practice. I’ve led as a foster care program director, supervised clinical teams, and delivered direct evidence‑based therapy (in‑person and via secure telehealth) to stabilize crises, process trauma, and strengthen family relationships. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space—whether one‑on‑one, with caregivers, or in skills groups, so clients can process mental health concerns, build coping skills, and move toward lasting recovery and resilience.
Hi and Welcome! My name is Amy Childers; I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of counseling experience. I have experience working with many populations over the years. I am also specialized in the treatment of trauma and offer EMDR treatment. My approach is client centered eclectic, so I collaborate with my client to determine the best treatment approach and goals for success. I utilize Cognitive behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and EMDR in my therapy practice. I currently provide therapy to ages 18 and up at this time. I look forward to meeting you.
I am Randy Wynglass, a US Navy and USMC veteran, who served as a combat medic, 2006-11. I help patients challenge unhelpful beliefs, rooted from early childhood impacting their functioning and ability to maintain their well being over their life span . I team with patients to make them feel supported, encouraged and guided by the best practices and techniques available to assist them in achieving their personal goals and aspirations.
Reaching out for help can be a very vulnerable experience, but also a great attribute of strength and resilience. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma in their life. Whether it's from childhood neglect, sexual assault, natural disaster, sudden death or other life circumstances. Trauma often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life, and can be challenging and painful to navigate. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle. I work to empower clients to understand and alter unhealthy cycles to strengthen and better their lives.
I am fluent in ASL American Sign Language and have worked with Deaf clients leaving domestic violence in both a shelter and outpatient therapy services. I have spent 2 years in correctional settings working with severely mentally ill patients and supporting their family members navigating having children with mental illness. I have also spent 2 years working with foster youth and foster parents in providing support to their placements, promoting healing and preserving relationships.
Note that online scheduling is limited. Broader scheduling options will be available to regularly scheduling clients. Please also note that I do not provide opinions about disability or fitness to return to work or other activities for clients who are not well-established at the time that the request for such opinion is made.
I am a first-generation Latino, the first in my family to attend college and pursue graduate and postgraduate education. In finding an area of specialty, it really came down to meeting the needs of my community, which led me to pursue AASECT Sex Therapy Certification. I was working with several BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples who brought in issues that I was not equipped to treat, such as gender afirming care and issues around sexual health in the Latin-American community. I have extensive training and experience in providing comprehensive dialectical behavior therapy. However, I am not providing comprehensive DBT in a solo practice, but many of the interventions are rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Hi, my name is Bjorn! In my practice I focus on helping my clients overcome obstacles to a healthier life by creating a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. Therapy can go in many directions, but I primarily focus on helping clients to identify specific needs that they have, process difficult feelings, psychoeducation, realizing important goals for growth and how to achieve them. In the therapeutic process I share many tools to help with healing including awareness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, personality work, psychoeducation, and somatic therapy.
I am a a culturally competent, trauma-informed therapist who has worked with adults and adolescents in homeless shelters, community resource centers, mental health residential, and intensive outpatient programs. My goal is to offer a supportive environment where you can fully express yourself, gain insight, and take steps toward whatever your goals are. I'm focused on collaborating with you to foster their self determination and agency to support their most authentic and genuine growth and change.
Hi, I’m Desiree, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adults who appear capable on the outside but internally struggle with chronic self-doubt, overthinking, and people-pleasing. Many of my clients worry they are “too much” or not good enough, even while managing a lot in their lives.
In therapy, we focus on understanding these patterns and where they come from, while building self-trust, stronger boundaries, and more confidence in your decisions. My approach is relational and person-centered, and I see people as whole humans, not diagnoses.
Clients often share that they feel comfortable opening up with me quickly and that they feel genuinely heard. I believe that kind of connection is a key part of meaningful change.
I offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Perhaps in pain, grieving, growing, uncertain, hopeful. I believe healing happens in safe connection, in being witnessed with compassion, and in slowly finding your way back to yourself.
My style is warm, grounded, and intuitive. I’m especially passionate about supporting people through trauma, anxiety, relationship pain, motherhood, identity shifts, and seasons of emotional heaviness. Together we make room for both the ache and the healing, with gentleness, honesty, and care.
I spent my early childhood in Jamaica before settling in Southern California. My experiences moving between cultures helped shape my appreciation for the many ways people make sense of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside, and my Master's in Social Work from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, where I specialized in Health and Mental Health Across the Life Span.
I have extensive experience working with people of color and LGBTQ+ clients who have struggled to find spaces where they feel safe, understood, and accepted. I also enjoy working with creative and artistic individuals who are looking to overcome self-doubt, navigate creative blocks, and reconnect with their creative potential.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and insight-oriented. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that shape your life while building a deeper understanding of all parts of yourself, including the parts that may feel difficult to accept.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy singing karaoke and immersing myself in stories of all kinds, whether through books, television, film, or video games.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you in this process.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of practice in the community and more than twenty years of experience in the social services sector. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of advocating for and assisting victim-survivors of various forms of trauma. In addition, I work with individuals that are struggling with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS). My work extends to individuals and families from a wide array of cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as diverse life experiences. I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive and affirming environment, ensuring that every individual feels seen and supported.
Hello, I’m Shimeka Arnold, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Lovely Day Family Therapy. I believe healing begins in a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, authentic, and compassionate, you may find that we work well together.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds and identities. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences and discover you strengths.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel empowered, connected, and supported. Together, we’ll work to build healthier patterns, increase self-understanding, and develop practical tools that help you move toward greater balance and emotional well-being .
Clients often appreciate my genuine, nonjudgmental style and my ability to create a space where they can be themselves. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, encouraged, and reminded that you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
My approach to therapy is rooted in being person-centered, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, empathy, and respect. I strive to create a welcoming and open space where you can show up exactly as you are — without fear of criticism or shame. I meet clients where they are, honoring their pace, experiences, and readiness for change. Whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, anxiety, or other concerns, my goal is to provide steady support, practical tools, and a safe environment to help you move toward healing and growth.
I'm an LMFT based in Oregon and California. I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years. I help adults experiencing life changes, anxiety, and also hormonal changes. I use empathy, compassion, and respect in every session and hope to make clients feel comfortable and welcomed, and free to be themselves. Often clients do not come in for trauma specifically, but more often than not, trauma and grief come up in a client’s past or childhood, so I am trauma-informed and very experienced in treating trauma. I am flexible for using part of a session for the “here and now” immediate goals, and part of session for healing old wounds, for more deep healing.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California as well as a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska. I also have a PhD in International Psychology from the Chicago School. I have 15 years of experience as a therapist, and 15 years previous to that teaching coping skills and working in group homes with adolescents that struggled emotionally.
I strive to provide a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, non-judgmental space for personal exploration, emotional vulnerability, and growth. Additionally, I am committed to offering LGBTQ+-affirming care.
I utilize a variety of modalities to provide an experience that is tailored to each person and their stage of life. My desire is that you find a calm, strength-based, and client-centered experience each time you meet with me.
As a queer, first-generation woman myself, I am passionate about working with people facing different life challenges. My specialty includes individual therapy with adults and teens with a focus on depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+/coming out challenges, immigrant/first-generation challenges, and trauma. I want my clients feel safe and respected in session with me in order to navigate life's challenges together with curiosity, compassion, and authenticity. Drawing from an intersectional, culturally-responsive, attachment-based, and compassion-focused approach, my goal is to support clients to build insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Hi, I'm Crystal and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, supported, and accepted exactly as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I strive to create an environment where you can show up authentically, explore life's challenges, and build meaningful change at your own pace.
As a mom of two, I understand the importance of balance, resilience, and self-care, especially during life's busiest and most demanding seasons. Outside of my work as a therapist, you'll often find me riding my motorcycle, spending time with my backyard chickens, or enjoying a little Disney magic. These experiences help keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of connection, joy, and making space for ourselves. I bring those same values into my work with clients, creating a therapeutic relationship that feels genuine, supportive, and human.
Hi, I’m a therapist who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and high-stress situations. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgement. I believe therapy should feel human and collaborative, not cold or clinical. My style is warm, direct, supportive, and engaging, while also helping clients challenge patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

My name is Justin Phillips and I have been helping people with life's challenges for over 18 Years. My fulltime roll is working with a non-profit community-based agency and I provide individual psychotherapy as part of my small private practice. I am an honorably discharged combat veteran and specialize in working with people who have complex mental health challenges, veterans, folks with substance use problems, the formally incarcerated and many others.

I am married with 5 children and live in the East Bay. I have been a lifetime Bay Area resident and enjoy what our communities have to offer.

My style of therapy is relational and focused on helping my clients feel better, live better and have a better quality of life. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to accomplish this and am open to adjusting treatment to fit the person, as opposed to checking boxes.
Hello,
I'm Evelyn, an LCSW working with GROW, exclusively with online clients. If you are experiencing sadness, anxiety or frustration with your relationships, it's time to get the support you need. If you are seeking a therapist who creates a safe and supportive space for change, I think we might work well together.
My background encompasses not only experience in clinical social work but also in the fields of nursing and music. I enjoy being inclusive and open in both my personal and professional life.
I look forward to learning about you and working collaboratively to effect positive change in your life.
I am a clinical therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. My approach focuses on helping individuals recognize and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and modify behaviors that may be interfering with their well-being.
I work collaboratively with clients to strengthen problem-solving skills, build emotional awareness and regulation, and foster resilience. My goal is to support each person in gaining insight, developing practical tools, and moving toward meaningful and lasting personal growth.
I am passionate about the impact of spirituality in mental health therapy. As an attachment informed humanist LPCC, I consider the bio-psycho-social-spiritual/existential condition of the folks with whom I work. Healing is a matter of integrating the disparate and fragmented parts of life. Empathy, acceptance, positive regard, and genuineness are crucial elements for effective therapy and these are the characteristics I seek to cultivate in my practice. As far as a specific toolkit, CBT and Motivational Interviewing are the primary evidence based methodologies I employ to be with people in their self-paced, goal oriented healing efforts. Those who want to examine the angst, anxiety, disquiet, and friction in their lives will find a fellow traveler in me.
Warm Welcome! I’m Dr. Nancy – Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Master's degree from California State University, Fresno, and my Doctorate from Walden University in Minnesota. With 18 years of experience in the field, I specialize in helping individuals navigate their emotional and relational challenges to lead more fulfilling lives. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on empowering my clients with the tools they need to achieve their personal and interpersonal goals.
As a licensed psychotherapist in California, I have been working in the field for over 25 years. I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage Family Therapy. I am here to empower both women and men who struggle with anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. I have also incorporated the use of journaling, art, and sandtray therapy into my practice.
When it comes to the therapeutic experience, my treatment motto is “therapy is a collaborative journey.” In treatment, the client or the patient sets the pace for treatment. As a clinician, we are trained to meet our patienst and clients where they are, currently, and provide services as appropriate. I always use this analogy when introducing how treatment will proceed to clients. I explain to clients that the therapeutic journey is like a road trip. They are in the driver's seat. They are setting the pace. They are deciding the route and the destination. All I do, as their therapist, is hold the GPS, suggest alternative routes when needed, and set the music.
Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about me. My name is Janet and I have had the pleasure of working as therapist for over a decade. I have experience treating children, women, and families. I believe in the importance of tailoring care to the unique individual. Therefore, I like to spend time learning about my clients and what feels helpful to them specifically. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and more.
I am a Licensed therapist and provide online therapy in States California and Georgia. I graduated from UNC-Pembroke in 2013. I have over 7 years in clinical practice working with teens and adults. Also, I have worked with veterans and foster care youth. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution focused, strengths-based, and motivational interviewing approaches when working with my clients.
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in sunny southern California, living with my partner, of many years, John, and our three cats, three dogs, and tortoise, who by the way, is currently hibernating...and don't we all wish we could do that at times? I have many years of experience working with individuals, and with a varied range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship challenges. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings with many ethnic populations. My style is down-to-earth, relatable, at times, direct, and always with a touch of humor. I love what I do and consider it an honor to help you resolve whatever it might be that is holding you back. I look forward to working with you! By the way, a former client recently said: "I am so grateful to have worked with you, you are truly gifted, and I have learned so much!"
I’m Dr. John Biroc. I’ve been a professional baseball player, professional actor on stage and screen, professor of both theater and psychology at major universities in Southern California. I’ve been involved with working with rock bands, as well as being Clinical Director and Therapist Supervisor in mental health and addiction centers throughout Southern California. I lean quite heavily on the creative process and it’s reliance on others.
Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience in the field. I initially worked in medical settings which gave me extensive experience in helping people cope with chronic illness. Helping people learn to navigate life despite additional challenges was incredibly rewarding and inspiring.
But I wanted to keep growing. So a few years ago, I went into private practice. Although my license was adequate to enter into private practice, I wanted to be as skilled a therapist as possible. Therefore, I entered a TEAM CBT training program which gave me extra training specifically in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My Level-3 certification in this form of therapy means I have extra tools and techniques to assist clients in quickly overcoming feelings of depression and anxiety. These tools are evidence-based and extremely successful at helping people actually feel better. I want clients to be able to feel better quickly and not need to be in therapy indefinitely.
I believe that the process of therapy helps all of us clarify the lives we want and identify the obstacles in our way. Assisting clients through this process is the most gratifying work I could imagine.
I’m a warm, compassionate therapist who works with adults seeking clarity, healing, and meaningful change. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected without judgment. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, and strengthen your confidence so you can feel more balanced, empowered, and connected in your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
Self-knowledge can only take us so far in dealing with our challenges. It may go deeper than that with our most persistent issues. It can be invaluable to have a trusted and non-judgmental person to help us see our blindspots and to provide insights that we can't see on our own. If you feel ready to talk about making more progress in your personal growth and recovery, I hope you'll schedule a session today.
I understand how challenging it is to come to therapy and speak of subjects that can bring about fear, anxiety and feelings of being judged. Therapy is the safest of environments to bring up topics that have brought about great pain or arrest in one’s life. My hope for you is that therapy becomes a useful tool to transform your life into how you envision it to be. Life is too short not to be lived out to its fullest potential. By working with you, I hope to collaborate in a transformation process where life goals come to fruition. As your therapist, I am your advocate and will support you in all areas where challenges, obstacles and barriers are encountered. I hope this message finds you well and instills a sense of hope that anything, if one’s mind is put to it, is possible to change for the better.
I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, attachment-based work, and mindfulness. I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
Aloha! My name is Ben. I was born and raised on O‘ahu, Hawai'i by immigrant parents in a multicultural, multigenerational household where emotions and mental health were rarely talked about. Growing up, I learned how easy it is to carry stress, pain, and difficult experiences in silence. I also learned how exhausting it can be to appear okay on the outside while struggling on the inside.
I help people who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and unhealthy relationships. Many of the people I work with are tired of putting everyone else's needs before their own, struggling to set boundaries without guilt, and feeling disconnected from who they are beneath the expectations of others.
I also help people make sense of how past experiences continue to show up in their present lives, whether that's in their relationships, self-worth, body image, or ability to trust themselves. Together, we will explore the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and work toward creating a stronger sense of self, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more authentic and aligned with who you are.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you've spent much of your life handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment—a space where you can show up as your authentic self and begin the process of healing, growth, and self-discovery.
**Please note that I am a child and adolescent provider with a focus of treating trauma exposure and associated symptoms. I do not treat adults.**
I am a child and adolescent psychologist with over 16 years of experience in treatment of youth ages 7-18 who have experienced trauma, adverse experiences, and/or stressful or challenging life events. My focus is to help clients be their own agents of change to help them move forward, empower them to gain control over trauma reactions, and foster their resilience. I focus on evidence-based approaches to treat trauma, PTSD/complex PTSD, and associated symptoms, and adjust treatment according to the client's specific needs.
I treat trauma related symptoms and reactions stemming from a wide range of stressful events including physical or sexual abuse or assault; maltreatment or neglect; domestic or community violence; motor vehicle accidents; serious injuries; natural disasters; grief or loss; medical trauma and more.
Prior to private practice, I was a Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford where I directed the Stress and Resilience Clinic. I was part of the development team for Cue-Centered Therapy (CCT), an intervention combining cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with an insight-based approach for youth with complex trauma. I provide teaching and training both nationally and internationally.
Hello. Thank you for starting your journey for a better you! I've worked with a variety of clients, including those who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship and/or attachment issues. I'm excited to create a safe space and to provide the support you need. I've worked with adults and children and believe that a transparent, genuine, and direct approach works best.
On a personal note, I am an adoptee and a birth parent and live in gorgeous southern California. I was raised as a military brat and grew up overseas (Taiwan and Indonesia) as well as both on the east and west coasts of the US and as a result truly enjoy experiencing culture and travel. I was in the Little League World series and to this day, love to travel (especially to the Caribbean). The beach is my happy place.
My name is Jeremiah, and I am a professional counselor who understands what it is like to be on both sides of the therapeutic process. Having spent over 25 years in recovery and worked through my own experiences with trauma, I bring both professional training and personal insight to the counseling relationship.
I am passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with mental health challenges, trauma, and addiction. My approach combines traditional talk therapy with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process painful experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop healthier beliefs about themselves and their lives.
I believe healing is possible, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward lasting change.
As a seasoned therapist with nearly 20 years of consecutive licensing across multiple states, I specialize in a diverse array of client issues, including men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, aging and chronic illness challenges, sexual addiction, trauma and PTSD, anger management, clinical depression, and anxiety. My approach is built on an affirming and caring nature, allowing clients to feel safe and understood in our collaborative work. I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including person-centered therapy, CBT, and ACT, alongside group therapy, to tailor my interventions to each individual’s unique needs. My strong listening and speaking skills facilitate deep connections with clients, empowering them to explore their struggles, find meaning, and ultimately create positive changes in their lives. The impact of my work is reflected in the growth and resilience of my clients, as they navigate their personal journeys toward healing and fulfillment.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Lic. 150726) who helps children, teens, adults, and couples tackle anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use, and life’s endless plot twists. Think of me as part therapist, part guide, and occasional reality-check provider. Using evidence-based therapy, collaboration, and a touch of humor, I help clients build resilience, gain insight, and discover they’re often far stronger than they give themselves credit for.
